Pooka is a very fast cruising open-bridgedeck catamaran designed by well known multihull designer Dick Newick. She was meticulously constructed by Peter Walsh of Argosy Marine in Westerly, RI. Peter is a graduate of the Landing School of Boatbuilding and Design in Kennebunkport, Maine.

Pooka has had but two owners. Her first owner's family of four cruised her at least six months of each year between Eastern Canada and the Bahamas. The current owners have cruised her seasonally in New England waters.

Pooka reflects her designer's philosophy of simplicity and seaworthiness. This approach is evident throughout the vessel. Her systems are easy to maintain and her accommodation plan is comfortable whether in port or at sea. Pooka sleeps up to 7 persons in 5 single berths and one double berth.

The interior, while not palatial, has proven to be more than adequate for extended off shore blue water cruising. She also features a very large and comfortable cockpit, part of which is covered by a Bimini Top that provides shelter from the elements.

Pooka is a legitimate fast cruiser; capable of reaching speeds of over 20 knots. Her owner typically plans for 200+ nautical mile daily runs while on passage. This level of performance is achieved by a combination of low weight, low windage, exceptional underwing clearance, an efficient underbody, and very efficient rig.

Pooka is a boat for sailors who, first and foremost, appreciate a catamaran with fine sailing qualities. As a bonus, she has very attractive lines and has a practical cruising interior. She is at her best when efficiently, safely and comfortably eating up the miles on long ocean passages. Pooka is truly one of a kind sport cruising catamaran.

AccommodationsPooka can sleep up to seven persons in 5 single berths and one double berth. Her seamanlike interior is simply but cleanly finished. All berths have 4 inch thick foam cushions. Ample storage for both short and long term cruising is located throughout the vessel.

Each hull has a separate entrance from the aft cockpit. The cockpit enclosure allows stooping headroom passage from one hull to the other during bad weather. The enclosure also offers a large sheltered activity area whether at sea or in port; dramatically increasing the usable living space of the vessel.

Port Hull Walk ThroughAt the foot of the companionway in the port hull is the navigation station. This area is equipped with Blue Sea Systems master electrical control panel, a chart table, chart storage and an electronics area.

Opposite the navigation station is a hanging locker for foul weather gear, etc. and three shelves for navigation books.

A "Spronk" type head is located in the underwing.

A single berth is located aft of the companionway.

A double berth which spans the width of the hull is located forward of the navigation station.

Forward of the double berth is a washroom equipped with a stainless steel sink. Fresh water is supplied by a double action foot pump.

The bow area forward of the wash room contains a single berth.

Starboard Hull Walk ThroughAt the foot of the companionway in the starboard hull is the galley.

A single berth is located aft of the companionway.

Next forward from the galley is the dinette area, equipped with a fold down table and seating for 4 to 5 persons.

A "Spronk" type head is located in the underwing.

Forward of the dinette is a washroom equipped with a stainless steel sink. Fresh water is supplied by a double acting foot pump.

The bow area contains a single berth with an optional second single berth above it.

The mast was built to a Geougeon Brothers design. It is wood/epoxy sheathed in 1/4" Bruynzeel mahogony marine plywood. The internal web is of douglas fir. Carbon fiber was used in the stress points (e.g., forestay, diamond wire and shroud attachment points). The mast base is almost entirely carbon. The entire mast with the forestay weighs 400 lbs.

Primary Engine: A single 2003 Honda BF15 15HP 4-Stroke outboard with a 28” shaft mounted on a retractable sled located at the center of the rear cross beam. Engine was purchased new in 2006 and has less than 100 hrs use.
